Depends on how deep of a sandbed she wants...

4- 20lb bags is what I have for my 75g...gives about 2" sand depth...really going to depend on what @Erin O is going to want though

I used 2-20lb bags and a 10lb bag for my 75 and my sanded is level with the black trim on the bottom.

We have to think about maintenance on that much water volume too.

My vote is get the 29 good, sand cost was a joke, what is the footprint of the 29?

I love you guys! Lol.

The 75 and its filters just need to be drained and cleaned. I had already moved the FW fish I had in there to the 125 over the weekend.

The footprint of a 29 is 30 1/4 in x 12 1/2 in or thereabouts

 

[fishguy242]

how close are you to interstate 80 ?

 

[Erin O]

how close are you to interstate 80 ?

About a mile, maybe a little more, from the west mixmaster. Probably less than a mile from I-235

 

[sfin52]

So we are going with a 29. The canister will be good and most likely provide adequate flow for the 29.
Erin can you make a list of needed items.

A COVID maricle.

I have a buddy coming through june 9-10th should be ready for clowns by then ,or i can ship em,what type do you want :)

 

[Katrina71]

I think the 29 is a smart choice! I have one also. I have the same footprint in freshwater. It looks more like 50+

 

[fishguy242]

" i like big tanks and i can't deny "

Sand-I believe @najer is helping with this
Rock- @Scratch08 and @Lowell Lemon have that covered
Refractometer- @sfin52
Powerhead- I believe @NY_Caveman is helping with this?
Testing- again, I think @NY_Caveman is helping with this?
Thermometer-
RODI- I can get water from my LFS for now
Does that look like everything?

 

[Lowell Lemon]

If you decide to go 75 Gallon I have a new in the box Eheim Aqua Puls filter that works great. I like them so much back in the day I bought the last partial pallet in the country. Just sitting here. They do make a slight gurgle sound as the water percolates between media.

I know that there are different types of the ocellaris, but does one type have a better personality than the others? Less aggressive?
